Evaluation Principles In Practice | Workshop 3: Taking a Creative Approach
Were you unable to join us for the recent Evaluation Principles in Practice workshops? Or perhaps you would like to re-visit the sessions? All three workshops, exploring the co-created Evaluation Principles, are now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Last year, we co-developed a set of Evaluation Principles for meaningful evaluation of cultural experiences. They promote evaluation as a means of structured learning, to help us develop our impact, value, resources, knowledge and capacity.
However, we recognise that following the principles in practice is easier said than done. So we developed a programme of workshops to explore together the very real challenges of applying the principles when carrying out evaluation.
In the third and final workshop, 'Taking a Creative Workshop', we asked the questions: how do we make sure that evaluation makes an impact on our future work? How do we design evaluation for learning and not just reporting? How do we learn as whole organisations? How can we communicate learning to stakeholders in compelling and action-orientated ways? How can we use learning to drive real change?
Hosted by Anne Torreggiani
Facilitated by Emma McDowell
For this workshop, we were joined by three speaker participants working in cultural evaluation:
Sarah Boiling, a freelance consultant focused on bringing culture closer to people through research, evaluation, and facilitation.
Maia Mackney, an evaluation specialist whose work includes co-creating research methods, teaching cultural policy and chairing the Evaluation Working Group at Guildhall’s ‘Institute for Social Impact Research in the Performing Arts’.
Asher Jael, a freelance action researcher, practitioner and 'slow activist'.
